Slovaks have begun voting in general elections expected to see Prime Minister Robert Fico handed a third-term on the back of hardline anti-migrant views. Ahead of the poll, Mr Fico had pledged he would not accept "one single Muslim" migrant to largely Christian Slovakia due to security concerns. His government's tough views echo those of Polish, Czech and Hungarian leaders. Slovakia will take over the European Union's rotating presidency in July. Opinion polls suggest that the ruling Smer-Social Democracy party is likely to lose the parliamentary majority that it won in 2012, Reuters news agency reports.

Turkey's biggest newspaper, Zaman, has condemned its takeover by the authorities in a defiant last edition published just before police raided it. Saturday's edition said Turkey's press had experienced "one of the darkest days in its history". Turkish police raided Zaman's offices hours after a court ruling placed it under state control, but managers were still able to get the edition to print. Zaman readers are protesting against the takeover outside the offices. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35735793 Where is that Turkish spy Bosmanoglu ?! :D Turkey is a democracy, we have an independent judiciary, bla bla. Where are the Maryooley who were booytclapping heavy for AKP aka Islamic brotherhood ? Erdogan is destroying Turkey.

@Haatu said: Alfow, not all of us have that small Somali nose ina adeer. I should form some sort of sanweyne solidarity organization or something. The amount of times I have been asked "Adeer ma Soomaali baad tahey? Eriteriyaan baan kuu maleynaayey" . Next time I should just reply "Maya adeer, Canfar Af Soomaali bartey baan ahey!" Ehem.. is your Somali lineage water tight ? I know a lot of dirt on NFD folks, it seems they have been over the last 50 years lots of seepage into your gene pool from a certain people.

^ Well, the proof is in the pudding as they say, so you can see in that link that indeed dinosaurs existed, their fossils are everywhere.

Nice! Wax kale halagu mashquuliyo hablaha. We don't want them to be baby making machines. Gaayga tracksuit bluegaa qaba wajigiisa eega, badow dheh. LOL

Any administration that implements this arrangement i.e currency board will not fall. You would solve inflation problem forever and economic activity would take off like a rocket. The quantity of local currency/shilling in circulation to be determined by a free-market mechanism in a currency board. So, just what is a currency board? Operating under currency board rules, a monetary authority issues notes and coins convertible on demand into a foreign anchor currency at a fixed exchange rate. As reserves, a currency board holds low-risk, interest-bearing bonds denominated in the anchor currency. The reserve levels are set by law and are equal to 100 percent, or slightly more, of its monetary liabilities. A currency board generates profits (seigniorage) from the difference between the interest it earns on its reserve assets and the expense of maintaining its liabilities. By design, a currency board has no discretionary monetary powers and cannot engage in the fiduciary issue of money. Its operations are passive, and automatic. The sole function of a currency board is to exchange the domestic currency it issues for an anchor currency at a fixed rate. Consequently, the quantity of domestic currency in circulation is determined solely by market forces, namely the demand for domestic currency. There have been many currency boards, and none have failed. By design, they can’t be broken. Even the currency board designed by John Maynard Keynes, which was installed in North Russia, during the civil war, worked like a charm.

Eat your yogurt and worry not about Trump getting smaller lool Every other product under the sun is reputed to either increase or decrease it. Honey, yoghurt, fish etc you name it, somehow someway has an effect. The obsession is just comical.

@Gheelle.T said: It all comes down to accountability I guess. And that's something very foreign to our people back home (locals and politicians alike). The elected Somali politicians in the West know well if they don't deliver they will be voted out , and also know well that any idea of thieving the public's money will have a serious ramification for their own freedom... Halac is also correct on the qualifications or rather lack of it for most politicians calling the shots back home. I agree. I was once reading a Kenyan writer talk about how even the worst African drivers who flaunt all road rules once in a developed city say Paris become law abiding. He was at loss to explain this phenomenon. its not hard to explain really! Nin waalan miyir kiisa qabaa as they say. Africans know full well what they are doing is criminal and counterproductive but they persist because they are no repercussions.

@Bluelicious said: Xabad I wanted to add that i'm impressed about your level of compassion and empathy. How you stand up for human (especially women) and animal rights. Also how you're against ill mannered people and believe in good conduct of manner and respecting people. Keep up the good work you're the man. The world needs more of you I am social justice warrior , always support the underdog. On serious note I am an HSP.

@Bluelicious said: Yogurt makes things only better. Do tell as I don't know what you meant. I thought you say were vegan and dairy gives you problems.

@Holac said: I read somewhere yogurt is bad for men. if you know what I mean. Why ? Does it increase estrogen like soy ?

@Holac said: That is an amazing transformation. We need people like Jeff to champion similar projects back home. No, we need you to champion them back home. Learn from him and spread the gospel as it were. Meesha halaga kaco.

^ They are thousands like him in Denmark. :sad:

What can you say ?

Saafinuura, walaal, my advice to you is visit your nearest family planning clinic and get informed on the different options you have regarding contraception. My hunch is you have more than 3 kids and your struggling to care of them. Haka sugin nin Soomaaliyeed inuu kaa caawiyo domestic chores and taking caring of the kids, forget it. For vast majority of Somali men, marriage is only about getting nookie. Your nothing more than a glorified maid to him; who presses his clothes, cooks his meals and cleans his house. It will be the best decision you've ever made. Take charge of your life now, you don't want to end up an obese single mother with 9 or 10 kids on welfare in a few years. Ku quus qaado asaagaa. Waa iga talo.

In hindsight, those times when we were respected were an historical anomaly, if you consider the fractious nature, fecklessness and clannishness that is at the heart of "maali" identity. Bur-bur was bound to happen one way or the other, the incipient central government we are fond of was put together by foreign colonialists let's not forget. We were tearing it down from day one.

@Mooge said: good projects niyoow. somalia is much better than that desert hellhole but its people will never do these kind of things. you should see the amount of plastic bags hanging from every tree in somalia. i was really surprised. if you go badiye you will see every tree is ruined by plastic bags. the worst environmental disaster. Niyow, we have a poor work ethic allround. I don't know why, we like to laze around and shirk duties and meaningful work, always! Daliishaan wey usiman yihiin reer magaal iyo reer badiye ba. Fadhi ku dirir iyo shaah cabitaan kaliya usheeg dadkeena.

@Saafinuura said: Salam Aleykum, I m a new mother and working wife. Currently my duties are divided up taking care of our small children, cleaning the house, cooking for our family and also working outside the home.My question is this...to have a good happy marriage does it only depend on the whole weight being on the wife? Why is that in our Somali culture, if a man helps his wife around the home he is considered "Nacas". Tell me please what makes marriage work? Is it the woman being a super woman and doing all the wifey duties without complaint? Is it wrong to ask your husband for help? The million dollar question is how many kids do you'all have ?

^ You haven't watched his shows if you have no hatred for him. That is all i can say. I am surprised he has even one fan, the way he humiliates and dresses down his guests.

@Tallaabo said: Xoola dhaqato were always part and parcel of the environment but what ruined the land is the charcoal trade. Xoolo dhaqato also use firewood, this term is applicable to all. Overgrazing was part and parcel of our environment and that is exactly what pushed it over the edge and the reason today we have semi desert environment, What has changed population has exploded thanks to modern medicine and nutrition, this is putting unheard stress on the land but xoolo dhaqato were always destructive to the land even when there were probably 20 families. it s common sense. that is why they use to have agreements to cordon off a dhaaq for one season. when you have huge herds of camels, cows, goats and sheep sweeping over the landscape, each with its own destructive niche, its bound to happen.
